Very few programmes of good quality these days. They don't seem to try very hard any more.

Why bother when reality crap (I'm sorry it is crap) like X Factor and the like are a cheap and easy way of satisfying the masses.

 

the tripods
The Tripods (1984)

downloaded the series a while back, wasn't as good as the memories.

 

Dr Who and Blake's Seven??

I recall an episode of Tomorrow's World where a guy "applied" a "spray" to an electic drill, pulled the tigger in air, spun up as you'd expect, and right next to him was a fishtank, full of water. The "inventer", while still holding the powered on drill, placed it and his hand in the tank of water....and he was OK!!! Awesome! And the CD's, covered in jam, and still played!

 

Trap Door is one of my favs just because of the theme tune.
Joe 90
Stringray
Captain Scarlet
and Ren and Stimpy, I loved this so much!

 

Because 99.9% of the "masses" are stupid. We really are in the age of stupid!

 

What about Dick Spanner, PI? Was never made after the initial, 12 I think, animated episodes. Look it up...really funny!

Yes I can see your point alright, and also the less they spend on programmes, the more they have got for the obscene salaries they pay themselves.
